The other day I was debating on whether to skip practice yesterday and give my body a rest. I decided to take a day off from my real job instead and practiced. I think I made the right decision. I still have 5 vacation days from work and I decided to use one of those days. I think I was just getting really tired from a combination of work and practice. I decided that practice was more important. I’m leaving my job anyway. I had an extra hour of sleep and if I was still tired I could take a nap after practice. I got out of bed yesterday at around 6:30AM and was in the shala by 8AM. The room was so hot by the time I started. It felt like a sauna and I was swimming all over my sweat. I love that feeling. I should have had one of those Mysore mats coz my black mat had little puddles and it was so slippery. I didn’t feel tired yesterday and I’m glad I practiced.
After practice, I headed home and just chilled for a while. I thought about napping but I wasn’t that tired. I try not to nap coz it ruins my sleep at night. Later that afternoon, I went out and did some “therapy�. The last couple of weeks I’ve been doing a lot of “therapy� and I think I will be doing more in the coming weeks. I have a whole list of things to get before I leave. I’ve spent the last 8 months just saving and to turn around and just spend is strange. For the most part, I’ve been quite discipline in what I buy but there are a few items I think I didn’t need. I’m sure I’ll stay within my budget though.
This morning, I was up quite early. I got to the shala by 6AM and started practice a few minutes after. It wasn’t as hot as yesterday but was warm enough. Practice was nice and easy. I think I flowed pretty well this morning. I wish I had more days like this.
